Preheat oven to 350. 2. Prepare the pumpkin as though you were going to make a jack-o-lantern, but stop short of carving the face (cut off the top; remove the seeds and stringy stuff). 3. Place onion, bread, cheese, horseradish, and mustard inside the pumpkin. Mix with your hands until well combined. 4. Add milk and broth (as much as will fit - you can adjust the amounts) along with the seasonings. Stir it up. 5. Line the pumpkin lid with a piece of foil, and place it on top. Place the filled pumpkin on an ungreased baking sheet. 6. Bake the pumpkin until tender (about 2 hours). To test for tenderness, remove the lid, and gently stick a fork into the side. It should go in easily. To serve: Scoop deeply to bring up some pumpkin pieces from the sides and bottom along with the soup. If desired, top with some crunchy rye croutons. ------------------------------ MY FAV KITCHEN GEAR - seriously, I use this stuff ALL the time: - Twist Whisk: https://amzn.to/3tDvFPo - 1/4 Sheet Pans (to hold my prepped ingredients!): https://amzn.to/46S9IKE - Ove Glove: https://amzn.to/3CkmyV5 - Small offset spatula: https://amzn.to/3GB9Rb7 - OXO Mini Angled Measuring Cup: https://amzn.to/3Gx2osz - GIR Silicone Spatula: https://amzn.to/3ImvNIs - Butterie Flip-Top Butter Dish: https://amzn.to/3YZ8j1I ------------------------------ INSTAGRAM: instagram.com/_cookingthebooks_ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/cookingallthebooks ------------------------------- DISCLAIMER: Links included above may be affiliate links.
